1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: This is Tony Pike, Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati. From Cincinnati.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sport Station.

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, let's cut right to it.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: It's hour number two on a Tuesday, which means we

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: go to our guy from Fox nineteen. Joe Daniman is

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: standing by to join us and kick off our number two.

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: Joey D. What's going on?

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Hi, Tony, Hi, Audi Tony. How was the Saint Patrick's

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: Day Parade on Fox nineteen? Now?

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: It was electric. I did not realize the parade was

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: as big as it is. The coverage was great, I

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: did say earlier in the show. Once I got through

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: my portion of the parade, I walked back and watched

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: the rest of the parade with my family. I attempted

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: to split a G on a Guinness and I'll say this,

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: in my mind, I thought I was gonna like stop drinking.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: It was gonna be like halfway done, and I was

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: gonna be well passed the G. I mean, I was

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: inches away from even getting to the G. It was

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: a terrible effort. Outside of that effort, awesome day, awesome crowd,

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: awesome parade, and great coverage by the way.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: That's an early afternoon Guinness.

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, although some of the people on the

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: parade route had started much earlier than I did. I

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: will say that I've got to ask before we dive

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: into this today. I said this at the start of

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: the show filling out NCAA tournament brackets. I remember the

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: days where they wheeled the TV into school on the Thursday.

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Like I'm that old, I feel like. But I also

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: am old enough that I would get like the paper

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: when it came out and fill it out in the paper.

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: I'm still to this day a fill out a bracket

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: on paper and pen type of guy. Are you that

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: way or are you just now online and you got

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: a couple of clicks and your brackets done?

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: Paper?

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: Pen I mean it has to be penn It cannot

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: be penciled. Nothing can beat erased. I'm very much like

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick, a one bracket of integrity kind of guy.

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: And when I was a kid, Tony, this was before

41
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: the internet, Okay, I would have four pieces of loose

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: leaf paper. I would have a ruler and I would

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: measure out each part of the bracket so it filled

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: out the entire page. And then I would get a

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: piece of scrap paper, and as Greg Gumble went through

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: each team, I would write them down quickly what region

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: they're going to, and then I would fill out my

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: bracket and it was so beautiful.

49
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: I used to keep it in like.

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: A folder and I would fill it in as the

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: teams won to kind of keep track of who won

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: and lost, and then look at how I was doing

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: in my predictions. But I always say this, okay, and

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: I give one piece of bracket advice for a guy

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: who has wanted I think three times last year I

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: had the perfect first.

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: Round man two to zero and one zero dollars? How

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: is that possible?

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: And how I lost Cooper flag and Continipple choked against Houston.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: Ye couldn't get otherwise I would have gotten it.

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: So my advice is this, look at winning your tournament bracket,

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: whatever office pull you're in. You have to find value

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: in the champion, because you're not going to win unless

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: you pick the champion. Correction the way seeds and points

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: are weighted in whatever bracket pull you're in. Unless you

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: think there's a dominant team that there's no way they're

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: going to lose, Like when you think about the Jalen

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: Brunson and Michale Bridges and Dante Devincenzo Villanova. Team no

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: one was going to beat them. You put them in

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: the championship and you work back. Otherwise, you try to

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: find value in the champion. Like the year Virginia one.

72
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: No one wanted to pick Virginia. There's a one seed

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: no one wanted to pick, and I said, Okay, there's

74
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: my value.

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: It's like gambling.

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: Where should I find the value? And so I put

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: Virginia's champion, work back and won the office pool.

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Manow Well, I have to add to that because it

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: is March Madness, and it's different this time of the

80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: year because we're used to, or I've felt like I've

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: been used to growing up so many local teams being

82
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: a part of the tournament. We haven't had that as

83
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: of late. We don't have it this year. Uc has

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: moved on from Wes Miller. I think Wes Miller lost

85
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: his job in the final two minutes against UCF. I

86
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: think if that game goes differently, he's probably still the

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: coach of the Bearcats. They have moved on. What did

88
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: you make of the decision to move on from Wes Miller?

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: And I know it's early in the process, but does

90
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: it feel like a clear cut number one that they

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: need to go to right now?

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't make this process harder than it needs to be.

93
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: If you have a candidate that stands out the way

94
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: that Jared Calhoun does, I think you jump on it

95
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: and look due process, right, you talk to other people,

96
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: you look at other people. But if everyone I talked

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: to who's involved in program or played for UC previously,

98
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: he says they want someone who gets UC basketball. And

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: I think sometimes a lot of those folks lean too

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: much into the Huggins era a little bit. And I

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: get it because those were the glory years for people

102
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: in our generation. But I do think there is some

103
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: merit to having someone who understands Cincinnati basketball and having

104
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: at least a little bit of a taste of what

105
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: it means to the program and to the city of Cincinnati.

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: And Jered Calhoun checks that box. He also checks the

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: box up. He's gone to Utah State, which is a

108
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: higher mid major in the Mountain West, and has now

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: gone to back to back n CAA tournaments two years.

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: So if you're talking about checking boxes, that's a guy

111
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: who's checking a lot of boxes. But to your original

112
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: question about Wes Miller, in the idea of him now

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: moving on from Cincinnati and Cincinnati moving on from him,

114
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: this felt like year five it had to be NCAA

115
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 3: tournament or bust. And if that was the feeling in

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: the fan base and for people who watched the team,

117
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm glad it was the same feeling for the people

118
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: who make decisions about this. I think it's important to

119
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: say this West Miller's a good coach. He's not a

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: bad coach. I do think the guy can be successful.

121
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, it didn't click here in Cincinnati.

122
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: Five years is a long enough window. He didn't get

123
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: it done, he didn't go to the tournament. It was

124
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: time to move on.

125
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 5: How big of a learning curve do you think there

126
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: is for a coach like let's say Calhoun coming from

127
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 5: Utah State jumping immediately to the Big Twelve, which many

128
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: believe is the best basketball conference in the country. Like

129
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 5: what should the runway be? Like what should the grace

130
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 5: period be? Because that's not easy. I mean for any coach, it's.

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: Not I do think there's a little bit of a

132
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: grace period for him this year with the transfer portal

133
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: date being a little bit later than it was for

134
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: saying Richard Patino making the jump from New Mexico to Xavier.

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: And I know that's not exactly apples to apples, considering

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: how much you See has in its nil fund to

137
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: pay for its roster compared to what Xavier does. But

138
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: you saw the late start that Richard Patino had trying

139
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: to build the team he had e Xavier, and then

140
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: you saw the result this year of a losing record

141
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: in his first year in a power conference. But with

142
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: you See, and whoever they decide to bring in the coach,

143
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: and let's just say for conversation's sake, it's Jared Calhoun.

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: The portal doesn't open until April seventh. You tossed eight.

145
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, is going to be eliminated by the

146
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: end of this weekend unless they shock the world and

147
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: beat Arizona in the second round after beating Villanova in

148
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: the first round. And then you've answered your question about

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: a guy who can beat teams of the Big twelve.

150
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: So you have to look at it for two reasons.

151
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: For two ways he gets the extra time it would

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: take to find guys in the portal. But also you're

153
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: not just jumping into the Big twelve where the talent

154
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: is a different level than he's coached against. But you're

155
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: also coaching against some of the best coaches in the country,

156
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: and this is going to be a trial by fire

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: for a guy in his first year. If they do

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: go with Jared Calhoun going up against the Kelvin Sampsons

159
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: and the bill selves and pick whatever big name coach

160
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: you want to pick in the Big twelve, to me,

161
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: that's what's most interesting. I think we'll get his roster.

162
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: We've seen the support the program has for the fan

163
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: base from the donors, because even last year when you

164
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: see was struggling, they still had ten thousand plus in

165
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: the building. That's there, That infrastructure is there. To me,

166
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: it's can he coach with and against some of the

167
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: best coaches in the country.

168
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 2: In the background of all this going on, we're now

169
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: nine days away from opening day, and we just had

170
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: this conversation earlier in the show, Joe. Because you're kind

171
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: of taught and it's talked about in spring training, don't

172
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: overreact to everything going on in spring training. Guys are

173
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: working on stuff you don't really have a clear understanding yet.

174
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Hunter Green's not going to be available till July. There's

175
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 2: been some uncertainty around Chase Burns in the last week

176
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: or so with innings and what they're doing with him,

177
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: and then your opening day starter. I get it. Spring

178
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: Training has thrown thirteen innings in spring training, twenty four

179
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: hits in twenty runs. Is there a point now under

180
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: ten days away where you do find yourself a little

181
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: bit concerned about this rotation, which is clear and above

182
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: supposed to be the strength of this roster.

183
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: So we talked at the start of this conversation about

184
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: bracket strategy, right, and Austin has invited me into the

185
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: Sincy three to sixty bracket challenge and I will not

186
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 3: fill that out until eleven fifty on Thursday morning because

187
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: I want all the information they can get about these teams.

188
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: And that's not me diving in and reading things. It's

189
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 3: like the situation in Alabama. What if something happens to

190
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: one of these star players for these teams. That's why

191
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to make any predictions until I have to.

192
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: That's why I want to walk back. Since you're read

193
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have done that until opening that I put

194
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: it out there. I got pedigree in my back around Austin.

195
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: I'm going for it.

196
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: You said concern, I'm curious. I don't know if I'm

197
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: concerned at this point. Certainly, Hunter Green's injury is a

198
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: big ding, There's no doubt about it. Okay, you can't

199
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: make up for losing an all star caliber pitcher for

200
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: perhaps half of a season. But the Reds are equipped

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: to be able to survive it with what they have

202
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: in depth in their starting rotation. The Chase Burns thing, again,

203
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: I think, fits right into that curious not concerned bucket.

204
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: I know there are some projections out there that he

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: might not be on the opening day roster. I'll believe

206
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: that when I see that. Okay, I still think that

207
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: Chase Burns is still inside track to be on the

208
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: opening day roster. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Reds

209
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: do want to send him down to the my leagues

210
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: and let him ramp up a little bit to be

211
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: ready for the majority of the season. But I still

212
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: think there's a chance he's on the opening day roster.

213
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: The Andrew Abbott thing, the numbers don't bother me. What

214
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: peaks my radar just a little bit is the way

215
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: he talked about it yesterday after his outing when he

216
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: used words like frustrated that the process is right, but

217
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: the results aren't there, and results maybe don't matter in spring,

218
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: but some of the ancillary stuff is a little bit curious.

219
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: The walks are higher.

220
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: You look at his walk to strike out late last year,

221
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: it was really excellent, and it's not been excellent so

222
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: far in spring training.

223
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: And you never know what a guy's working on.

224
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: But the fact that Andrew says I'm going to try

225
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: to ride out the storm, hope it starts to click.

226
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 6: You.

227
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: Hope if you're a Reds fans, that when the lights

228
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: turn on on opening day, everything just falls into place

229
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: and he goes back to being the Andrew Abbott we expect.

230
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 4: Him to be.

231
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: And that's opening day starter, that's all star level pitcher.

232
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: But I think the word I would land on guys

233
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: is more curious. At this point, a week plus out

234
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: from opening day, and I am concerned about the starting rotation.

235
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 5: How much stock are you buying in Matt McClain because

236
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 5: it's not just been a week or two, it's been

237
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 5: twenty days, twenty days of Matt McClain wearing long pants

238
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 5: and hitting long homers. So should we be all in

239
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 5: on this.

240
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I was a stockholder on Matt McClain even.

241
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 4: When he was playing.

242
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: Poorly last year, because I thought it was going to

243
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: be a blip on his long career of multiple All

244
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: Stars on his resume.

245
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: I go back to what he is.

246
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: Is he the twenty twenty three player or is he

247
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five player? And I think for his

248
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: entire life, he's been closer to the twenty twenty three

249
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 3: guy who came up here and looked like one of

250
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: the best hitters in the organization and a would be

251
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 3: future star in Cincinnati. The only other data point we

252
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: have of is twenty twenty five. But he was coming

253
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: back from the shoulder surgery, the shoulder rehab, and he

254
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: looked a little bit lost with his confidence in twenty

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: twenty five. So I'm going to lean on every other

256
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: data point that we have that made Matt McClain a

257
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: first round pick, that made him a great player in

258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: his rookie season, and not necessarily buy anything that I

259
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: saw last year. I think it's important he uses last

260
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: year as a data point for himself mentally the things

261
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 3: he needs to get better at.

262
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: You know, I talked to Matt when he's going well.

263
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: I've asked him, what are you doing particularly well when

264
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: you're going well, and he always says, I'm swinging at

265
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: strikes and I'm not chasing. And I read Charlie Goldsmith's

266
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: article talking yesterday about that exact same idea, being more

267
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: aggressive on pitches in the zone, and there's been a

268
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: lot of talk about him chasing those low and away

269
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: sliders and making the adjustment of trying take that ball

270
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: to right field. And we've seen that so far in

271
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: spring training. I understand spring training numbers are what they are,

272
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 3: but when you're hitting like Babe Ruth, give me all

273
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: the stock.

274
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: So back to ninety, back to that.

275
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: Nineties one hundred.

276
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: We're going one hundred Central champions and bringing home a

277
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: World Series championship on the back of Maddie Long Pans.

278
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: I gotta I've got to ask for the the Bengals.

279
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about this offseason, Joe, and it

280
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: feels like they've done a lot of really good things.

281
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: The Dalton Riiser had to happen the decision with Trey Hendrickson.

282
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: They've made three defensive additions that I think are going

283
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: to help this team in a big way. They get

284
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: Orlando Brown Junior extended. They're doing a lot of good stuff,

285
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: and yet at the end, it feels like, now there's

286
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,239
Speaker 2: this conversation happening around the cap and how they're structuring

287
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: these deals based on how other teams across the NFL

288
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: are structuring those deals, and they're just not in the

289
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: frame to restructure Joe Burrows deal. And you see that

290
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: happening across teams across the National Football League, where they

291
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: restructure the quarterbacks deal, they free up cap space and

292
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: they use that to make the team better. Joe Burrow

293
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,479
Speaker 2: has even said he's open to this. Are you surprised

294
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: seeing the cap hits in year one at these contracts

295
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: and that they've not ventured down the path of restructuring

296
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Burrow for a year?

297
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: Am I surprised? I am not surprised. I would be

298
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: if I were a Bengals fan, I would be disappointed

299
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: a little bit by the way free agency in the

300
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: offseason has started the fact that there was this understanding

301
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: of the urgency of what this off season meant to

302
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: this coaching staff, to the patience of the quarterback that

303
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: is wearing very thin, very quickly. They understood the assignment.

304
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: They got in front of microphones, they got in front

305
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: of whatever person they can get in front of the media,

306
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: and they said that they got it, that they were

307
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: going to go for it. They knew the urgency of

308
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: the situation. And right now we haven't seen that really

309
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: play out. You have to give them credit. Okay, Mafey

310
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: will help, Alan will help, Cook will help. I said

311
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: before the offseason this team probably needed five new starters

312
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: on defense to compete for a Super Bowl. Four new starters.

313
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: I think they're back in the playoffs right now. They

314
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: have three new starters defensively, they have an address linebacker.

315
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: Makes me think that the Bengals are probably going to

316
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: use the number ten overall pick on a guy that

317
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: they expect to come in and start day one here

318
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. So even if they add that guy, that's

319
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: four new starters. But you're relying on running it back

320
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: with Knight and Carter, and I wonder how much that

321
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: is going to define what the twenty twenty six Bangals are.

322
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: It feels like we always pull something right from the

323
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Bengals and say this could define the season, and then

324
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: there we are week ten, week eleven, week twelve, and

325
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: like we were right, it is defining the season. So

326
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: the Bengals are betting unless they go out and get

327
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: someone that surprises me here in the next couple of weeks,

328
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: or if perhaps they get lucky and a sunny Styles

329
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: drops to them at number ten, then you're starting another

330
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: rookie at linebacker again, when all offseason they said they

331
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: wanted to add someone in that room who has some

332
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 3: experience and has proven they can play on Sundays. So

333
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: to me, it's going to come down to in twenty

334
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: twenty six if they run this back with Knight and Carter,

335
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: young players that I don't think anybody listening to this

336
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: would say get rid of they can't play, But can

337
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: you rely on them to take the kind of jump

338
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 3: they have to take to help drag this team to

339
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: a different level in twenty twenty six. I'm skeptical. I'm

340
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: a little worried about it, and I'm very curious if

341
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: this was the plan for them after investing in those

342
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: two players last year, to bring them back in twenty

343
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: twenty six as your two starters.

344
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my question too, is because like, okay, you

345
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 5: can see Logan Wilson's in that room, Logan Wilson can

346
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 5: help them, but then Logan Wilson played terribly and he

347
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 5: gets traded. And orn Berg's kind of the same situation,

348
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 5: wasn't necessarily the best player to help them, And Doko

349
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 5: Toobin kind of referenced that, like, if you're not playing well,

350
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 5: it's difficult for your message to resonate all that stuff

351
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 5: that they said about linebacker, and then reading what Paul

352
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: Daaner reported that they weren't really even in on Caden

353
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 5: Ellis or even in on Leo Chanel. That doesn't make

354
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 5: sense to me, and I have a hard time understanding

355
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 5: what the plan actually is to make those two guys

356
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 5: better as opposed to other than just hey, you had

357
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 5: a whole offseason as an NFL player, You had a

358
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 5: whole season as a rookie, like now you know what

359
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 5: to expect.

360
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: I think you can make the argument that adding the

361
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: players they've added will make them better, sure, right, but

362
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: I think that's hollow.

363
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 4: I think that's hollow to the fan base.

364
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: I think the fan base wanted to see that box

365
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: checked in free agency. I certainly wanted to see it

366
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: checked in free agency, and they're so close, right, it

367
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: feels like, they're so close to having this successful, well

368
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: done check every box off season, and I'd never thought

369
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: they were going to get the big splash. I never

370
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: thought they were going to get the top one or

371
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: two players at whatever position they were going to address.

372
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: But they've improved the pass rush, they've improved the tackling.

373
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: They had to improve linebacker, and it's disappointing that here

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: we are now looking forward most likely to the draft

375
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: as a place to address it if they're going to

376
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: address it, unless they want to bring in an Orin

377
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: Burks type player, and I don't know how much that's

378
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: going to help in that position. It's disappointed the Bengals

379
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: didn't address that, and I think it might at the

380
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: end of the twenty twenty six season be something we

381
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: point back at and say, hm, that kind of defined

382
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: the season.

383
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if we see a Keem Davis

384
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 5: Gaither eventually come back. But before we let you go,

385
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 5: your buddy Trey Hendrickson now a Baltimore Raven. Your reaction,

386
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 5: it's interesting, it's a fresh start.

387
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 4: Trey is a enigma. Okay.

388
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: So I was on a Baltimore radio station last week

389
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 3: and they were asking me about Trey Hendrickson, and I said, listen,

390
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 3: you know when he gets in front of the cameras

391
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: and he talks about his faith and his family, and

392
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: those are two pillars. And I'm not saying those two

393
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: things aren't legitimate. Those are two legitimate things. He also

394
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: has a selfish side to him that he doesn't do

395
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: a lot of interviews, and when he did do them,

396
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: he would act like he didn't know how many sacks

397
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: he had, and then you would see these clips of

398
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: him when he was miked up calling up to the

399
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: press box making sure he was credited for the sacks

400
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: he got on the field, asking people the number of

401
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: sacks he had.

402
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of.

403
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: Disingenuous side to Trey Hendrickson, and all that's saying when

404
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: he goes to Baltimore, he's going to be productive. Right,

405
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: Teams value what he does well he gets to the quarterback,

406
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: He's going to help Baltimore. But I am glad the

407
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson era in Cincinnati is done. He did a

408
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: lot for the Bengals. What he did for them should

409
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: be celebrated on the field, and I understand he was

410
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: a captain in his last year, but sometimes guys leaving

411
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: is a good thing, and I think this is a

412
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: good thing for the Cincinnati Bengals.

413
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: Do you think there's going to be a contingent to

414
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: Savior fans that make the trip to Dayton to Boucheonpime.

415
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: I would be surprised. Now you've asked. I think you

416
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: asked a poll question earlier. What are you watch it?

417
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: And I roll Baseball Classic? Of the first four I'm

418
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: watching World Baseball Classic. I'm all in, but I will

419
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: sample the Texas game to see if anything like that happens.

420
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: I doubt it's anything that comes across through on television.

421
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: There will be some boots, There's no doubt there's some

422
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: people regionally who are going to go to the game

423
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 3: in Bouchhawn Miller. I just don't know if it'll make

424
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: the kind of impact that would be noteworthy or heard

425
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 3: on television.

426
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: That's fair.

427
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 5: Speaking of television, what's a true company man? He chose

428
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: the World Baseball Classic.

429
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: On Fox nineteen Joe Hey, we've got state championships.

Speaker 4: Big day.

458
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: You ever thought about being on air that long? Maybe

459
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: mixing in a karaoke segment?

460
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: Ha ha ha.

461
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking the other day ton about I need

462
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: to work in a new song and what happened to

463
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: my intro in music, which was my greatest karaoke moment ever.

464
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've witnessed some karaoke and I think I think

465
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: viewers and listeners alike would would welcome that I have

466
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 2: it somewhere.

467
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 4: I can't even.

468
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Name the artist anymore because his name is so toxic.

469
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 5: I wish I had it ready. I don't know.

470

488
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 10: that didn't go as well as you hoped. I think

489
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 10: this year the year you put Matt McClain for MVP odds,

490
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 10: because is the way he's playing right now. Oh, Tony,

491
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 10: don't have a chance. And in honor of nine days,

492
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 10: I like to proroute the name Paul Bocco, the utility specialist,

493
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 10: Juan Castro, Oh my god, and outside of Hobby Valentine,

494
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 10: the other pitch hitter Jacob Cruse.

495
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: Wow, I forgot all about Juan Castro. Yep, he played

496
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 5: quite a bit. Great drop. Paul Bacco was the catcher

497
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: for the Cubs who laced that double into the center

498
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 5: field on opening Day that destroyed Ken Griffy Junior's shoulder.

499
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 5: Man back in Like, what year was that? One? Great pool?

500
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 5: Row two Paul Bonco.

501
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, Jeff and your Richmond Happy first four Tuesdays too. Yeah,

502
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 9: just curious what your plans are for tonight. Will you

503
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 9: be watching the first four or is it something that

504
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 9: you don't get into until one shining moment at noon

505
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 9: on Thursday.

506
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: Take care, have a great day, guys. No, I'm in.

507
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm in now. I don't have as much interest in

508
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: UMBC and Howard. Yeah, so I will start with the

509
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic. I would imagine that Texas NC State

510
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: tips off about nine twenty five, nine thirty. I'll flip

511
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: over for that, but I will most of the time

512
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: be on the World Baseball Classic, and less one of

513
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: the team scores, you know, a couple runs early, then

514
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: I'll switch over to the game, but that will march

515
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: madness for me.

516
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 5: I'll have Fox and watching the World Baseball Classic on

517
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 5: my big TV. I'll have the tournament on the iPad.

518
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 5: Probably won't be paying too much attention to the iPad,

519
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 5: and I'll be asleep by the time the Texas game starts.

520
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 11: Happy sat Patty's Day to you Tony on out there fellas.

521

Speaker 4: Hope you made it in psychicly this morning. Nasty out there. Wow.

523
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: WI will go for a four round pick.

524
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 5: What a cheap trade that was in my opinion.

525
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 4: Fellas we are now nine kind of nine Joe Oliver

526
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: days away from Red Legs opening day. Can't wait to

527
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: see you guys on the twenty six.

Speaker 5: in the World Series, Joe Oliver, There we go, Kevin.

530
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 5: They did have a first and third.

531
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: Round pick in there as well, Yes, so they swapped

532
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: the fourth and Awson.

533
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 13: I started out in the morning listen to Dan Patrick

534
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 13: on iHeart, and then I switch over and listen to

535
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 13: you too. If I hear the Smokey the Bear commercial

536
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 13: about forest fires one more time, I'm going to punch

537
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 13: Smokey the.

538
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 5: Bear right, see you, I know exactly what you're talking about.

539
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 5: I wish I had some control over that, but I don't.

540
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 5: I apologize. Oh, I don't think anyone's really going to

541
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 5: dating the booth that night.

542
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 14: I think if you really talk to Xavier fans, true fans,

543
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 14: they don't care.

544
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he was a coach for how long ago.

545
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: They've kind of moved past that.

546
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 14: And if you're going to be that bitter about not

547
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 14: having anything else to do to go boo him and Dayton,

548
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 14: then you don't have a life.

549
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: I mean majority of the Xavier fans don't care.

550
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 5: I mean it's been less than a year, right since

551
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 5: he was the head coaches A.

552
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, he coached in the first four last year for Xavier. Yeah,

553
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: my bad, fellas.

554
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 5: I completely screw that information out there on Waddle. I

555
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 5: completely looked at it wrong. Take care, all right, Dan,

556
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 5: He's not afraid to own up to his mistake.

557

00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 11: of it. Guys, have a great day, guys, take care.

626
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 5: I agree.

627
00:31:59,640 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: Hello.

628
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 6: Oh, this is former president Ronald o'reagan and wail. Yesterday's

629
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 6: discussion about Mick o' cronin underachieving, as you see his

630
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 6: coach in the tournament got me to checking on some stats,

631
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 6: and it's true. He always seemed to get beat by

632
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 6: lower seated teams and only once did he upset a

633
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 6: higher seeded team. Oh, but I can do you one better.

634
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 6: Bob o' huggins never beat a higher seeded team during

635
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 6: his tenure. You see in the NCAA tournament.

636
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: Look it up.

637
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 5: How about that? Oh, Bobo Huggins, write that down.

638
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 18: I just wanted to say that I'm picking against Kentucky

639
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 18: and all my brackets because they stole Sincy three sixty

640
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 18: from US three days so Screa UK.

641
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 5: Wow.

642
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Nah, not panicking yet, but I'm definitely keeping eye on

643
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: his pitching. We got a problem repping the city out

644
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: here in Sonny Man. It is getting hots on and

645
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: what up Tony?

646
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 17: What up?

647
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: Buddy?

648
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 14: Yeah?

649
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: Every year, same old thing with the script just pitching.

650
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: Something's going wrong that it's a little shaky. I'm just

651
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna say it's early right now to do that. Too

652
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: early to be panicking. But I am keeping a close

653
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: eye on this situation.

654
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 5: Yup. I entered a tournament China. I just put myself down.

655
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: I filled my bracket out on the what Joey Dean

656
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: talking about, I'd have went on and did it. I'm

657
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: rolling with the aid even though I'm still Cincinnati.

658
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 5: I hope Ronnie ron takes care of himself out there

659
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 5: with that extreme heat. Yeah, a lot of heat.

660
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 19: A couple of quick draft thoughts. I think the second

661
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 19: round we have to take a defensive tackle. There's too

662
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 19: many kind of names at the top have fifty picks

663
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 19: or so our first pick. If Caleb Downs is going

664
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 19: and something Styles is going, I think I'd rather trade

665
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 19: back to fifteen to twenty range and get a keen Mezzador.

666
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 19: Everybody's talking about Bating. Nobody's talking about Mesador and he

667
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 19: reaked havoc. What do you think?

668
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm always down for more edge rushers. I would

669
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 5: love to trade back and get an extra pick. I

670
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 5: don't believe in them to do that because they don't

671
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 5: do that very often.

672
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 19: Double dipping with all the top picks we spent on

673
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 19: defensive end and linebacker in the last couple of years.

674
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 19: I would rather get guys like Cameron Jordan and Bobby Wagner.

675
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 19: Very old, but there's a reason they're still playing in

676
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 19: the league. It would almost be like having a coach

677
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 19: on the field. There's so much they could teach our

678
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 19: young guys that could propel us for the next five, six,

679
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 19: seven years, hopefully. But I would rather do that to

680
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 19: spend money on another starter and have wasted picks.

681
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 5: Yep, I would take Bobby Wagner right now.

682
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 7: Yes, hello, guys, Well just a couple more days of

683
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 7: this Carappy Weather, be patient. Hey, listen, I was listening

684
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 7: to you talk about the Reds.

685
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 5: It just rings in my ear.

686
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: The pitching, the hitting, lack of.

687
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 7: They had good pitching in games last year and we

688
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 7: could not score rounds and other teams score.

689
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: Runs, well, hopefully they'll score more.

690
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 20: You know the dumb guy that always asks dumb questions.

691
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 20: This is for my friend that thinks I'm dumb. I

692
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 20: got a dumb question.

693
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 12: So my dumb question is when you fill out your bracket,

694
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 12: do you start like, do you pick your elite eight

695
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 12: and then work backwards or do you pick the entire

696
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 12: field and move forward.

697
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 20: I'm just here ask you dumb questions.

698
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: Is gone and I'm with you, Tony.

699
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 7: I will be watching the Baseball Classic, but I'll have

700
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 7: a double screen so I can see the basketball game.

701
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 7: And you know, if it gets the basketball games gets

702
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 7: blah blah, then I'll just put the full screen on

703
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 7: for the TV.

704
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: Blood bly love March Madness, God, I love it.

705
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 7: I can't wait to watch the Women two this year.

706
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 2: It's just you know.

707
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 7: Me, all right, guys, be safe, stay warm.

708
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: Do you start front the back or do you pick

709
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: the winner first and then work backwards?

710
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 5: I start front the bank, okay, but I do like

711
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 5: I'll like, pick through an entire region and then go

712
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 5: to the next region. Pick through an entire region.

713
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: Okay, double dip, deal with it.

714
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 21: Hey, I got a thad Mada story so uh Skyline

715
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 21: the night before the game would have a private party

716
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 21: at their downtown location and uh so Thad Mada and

717
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 21: Bob Huggins were sitting at a table signing basketball's. Thad

718
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 21: Mada actually talked to me for a couple of minutes.

719
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 21: Bob's Huggins sucked, wouldn't even look up. I think he

720
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 21: was on the phone the whole time signing basketballs.

721
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, with Butler's job being open, can

722
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: we take a moment Austin for Bruce Pearl who got

723
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: got yesterday. I'm shocked to hear that fake social media account.

724
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: Shocked to hear that said that Travis Steele was already

725
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: accepted the job of Butler. Now it is Travis Steel's

726
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: alma mata, that's where he graduated from. But Bruce Pearl

727
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: got Got yesterday.

728
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 5: You hate to see it is Butler like the only

729
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 5: school you think that could take Travis this year. I'm

730
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: still not a It's not a ridiculous moving away.

731
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do think that there is something with

732
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: a school that you spent so much time and graduated

733
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: from and have the opportunity to go back and coach

734
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: in the big East chance like you'd be coaching against

735
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: your former employer who fired you. Yeah, year in and

736
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: year out. So I think I think it's one to watch.

737
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: All right, We're done, all right, let's take a break

738
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: one segment when we get back today, Yes, sir on

739
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, you'll do anything to

740
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: get welcome back. Since he three sixty ESBN fifteen thirty

741
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. We're gonna have some Bengals conversations happening

742
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: in the third and final hour. Joe Burrow's career six

743
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: years in. Let's take a view of that, the Bengals

744
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 2: cap conversation, which is increasing over the last couple of days,

745
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: and quite frankly mind boggling with what's going on with

746
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: how these deals are being done in the first year

747
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: from a cap hit standpoint, with what the Bengals are

748
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: trying to accomplish. Nonetheless, we'll get to that an hour

749
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: number three. Also a little bit of a pat noon

750
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: in conversation, the latest buzz around UC basketball and their

751
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: coaching search, and of course Austin now nine days away

752
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: from Red's opening day, which means we've got to rehash

753
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 2: some of the best Reds to wear number nine.

754
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go out here and say Jack Hannahan is

755
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 5: on the list.

756
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: Jack Hannahan, Yeah, where's Hanny at Was he on there?

757
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

758
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen? Yeah, what about that one fateful

759
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: year of Marlon Byrd as a Red You know, Marlon Bird,

760
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he was. You have to look this up.

761
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: I don't think he had a bad year for the Reds.

762
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 2: For the Reds in Marlon Bird fifteen forty two ribs, okay,

763
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: nineteen home runs yeah for Marlon Bird.

764
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Marlin Kird was okay, he could play a little bit.

765
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: Marlon Brd that year for the Reds hit two thirty seven,

766
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: which would have put him right near the top of

767
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 2: last year's squad.

768
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 5: I know in twenty ten, Willy Bloomquist was a part

769
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 5: of that special team. And it's a shame that Moe

770
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: is missing today because I believe Willy Bloomquist is like

771
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 5: one of his favorite Reds of all time. Really yeah,

772
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 5: I mean he only played in eleven games for the

773
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 5: Reds that year, but he's a National League Central Division champion?

774
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 5: Was Willy Bloomquist?

775
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: Is Mike Mustakis on that list from mo Uh, it's

776
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: a good question.

777
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna guess he's probably not future favorite Reds. Yeah,

778
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 5: there was a couple of minutes where Mike Mustakas was

779
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 5: fun number nine.

780
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: Now, once Moose was done wearing it, he gave it

781
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: up to the current wearer of number nine and future

782
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: nl MVP Award winner, Mount mcleain.

783
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 5: No, there's a couple of good ones in here, like

784
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 5: obviously you know, Dante Baschett and Joe Oliver and wish

785
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 5: it could have been bo How Morris wore to Morris Man,

786
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 5: Jose Perrazza. Yeah, there was a period of time in

787
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 5: which I thought Jose Parrazza was the future. He was

788
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 5: here for a while. What about remember when Mike Mustakas

789
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 5: hit those homers during COVID and the grounds crew did

790
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 5: the Moose sign. That was like one of the highlights

791
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 5: of my Reds fandom.

792
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 2: Terry Pendleton in nineteen ninety seven hit two forty seven

793
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 2: for the Red Lights.

794
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 5: Terry Pendleton, could he could flat out play Yeah a

795
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 5: little while, not always with the red You could go

796
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 5: get in come back with it. What about Luis Kenones Beast,

797
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 5: great name Man Plumber, Venable Vinible, Bill Plumber, yeah, Hank Foyles.

798
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 5: Now you go back a couple of years, nineteen sixty one,

799
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 5: Hal bevin Well. I was thinking about nineteen sixty with

800
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 5: Dutch Doughterer. What about Joe Fraser. What about Ray Lomano,

801
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 5: which is scarily similar to Ray Romano up.

802
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: Ray sounds like he was probably in some type of.

803
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 5: Mafia related shows, So you think he'd be playing for

804
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 5: the Italian national team. Lou Riggs, Ray Lemono.

805
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: Chick Hafey. What about old Chickster? He showed up for

806
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: the Red Legs with his laptop. I heard I'm gonna

807
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: be working with the Chickster again on draft night, are you?

808
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? You and the Chickster. Now, I think you guys

809
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,959
Speaker 5: will actually probably have the pick this year. That would

810
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 5: be something be it being tenth or less the trade

811
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 5: back that would be given to be in the Chickster,

812
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: but to another draft night.

813
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: You know, the more I thought about it yesterday, the

814
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: scenarios we both worked through with PFF and the Draft

815
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 2: shim Leader.

816
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 5: People got mad at me for that.

817
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand, Like that's I feel like the

818
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: further we get into this, the more plausible that is

819
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 2: that all those names are going to be off the board.

820
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 5: Like I was just reading Daniel Jeremiah. He released his

821
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 5: new mock draft and it's very similar. All those guys

822
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 5: are gone except Caleb Downs. And I legitimately think in

823
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 5: that scenario, because of how they have screwed up free agency,

824
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 5: the Bengals would not take Caleb Downs because they have

825
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 5: a history of painting themselves into a corner and reaching

826
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: for need. And this like exact scenario was brought up

827
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 5: to Duke Tobin at the scouting combine where he's asked like, well,

828
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 5: let's say you sign a safety and then you get

829
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 5: to the draft and Caleb Downs is still available, and

830
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 5: he obviously was like, wasn't gonna show his hand, But like,

831
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 5: as a very real possibility, I think they would take

832
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 5: the corner. I really do.

833
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: Let me give you this scenario as well. This was

834
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 2: Kuiper's mock draft today. Mendoza, David Bailey, rvel Reese, Jeremiah

835
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: love Caleb Downs. He's got Monroe Freel jumping up to

836
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: number six to the Browns.

837
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, that name has been leaked to the Browns quite

838
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 5: a bit lately. I think there's a real possibility that happens.

839
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: Sunny Style seven, Carnel Tate eight, Reuben Bain goes nine.

840
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: So at ten you would have the ability at Mansor Delaney,

841
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: Jermad McCoy and Francis Maluinoa. Would you still lean now

842
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 2: Kuiper has them taking Mansor from Lsu the corner if

843
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 2: that scenario presented itself, is corner a bigger need than

844
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: Francis Maluiinoa as a tackle?

845
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 5: It was fran it was it was Malinoa, Delaine and

846
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 5: who is the other one? Jermal McCoy is still out there.

847
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 5: I would take Mansor Delane, Okay, yeah in that scenario

848
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 5: because you really don't know the future of corner and

849
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 5: you have three viable cornerbacks on your roster. That is

850
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 5: one of one of the positions where you need to

851
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 5: have at least five dudes that are not going to

852
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 5: hurt you when they step on the field. They have three.

853
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: I feel like more, and one of them is a

854
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 2: Nickel specialist, But I feel like more and more. The

855
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: later this gets in the process and the closer the

856
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 2: draft gets, I feel like I see corner more than

857
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 2: anything else. For the Bengals, Yeah.

858
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 5: Because they haven't addressed it, yep, and and teams know

859
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 5: how the Bengals or people know how the Bengals operate,

860
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 5: and they don't have enough corners. I'm gonna pull up see,

861
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 5: I'm pull up my roster here real quick and make

862
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 5: sure I have this correct and at cornerback right now.

863
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 5: Guys currently on the team, DJ Turner, Dax Hill, Jalen Davis,

864
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 5: dj Ivy, Josh Newton, Jalen Kimber, and Braylan Lux. Good

865
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 5: point and no disrespect to dj Ivy, And I thought

866
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 5: dj Ivy played good towards the end of last year.

867
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 5: I think he can compete for that spot. Josh Newton

868
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 5: hasn't shown it, Jalen Kimber and Braydon Lux haven't seen

869
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 5: the field, and Jalen Davis is a nickel guy. And

870
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 5: two of those dudes are facing contract extensions. Just knowing

871
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 5: how they do things and the way that they you know,

872
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 5: like the Jesse Bates thing, the Andrew Whitworth thing. Drafting

873
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 5: to replace players, Yep, I'm almost willing to guarantee that

874
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 5: it's going to be a corner, and if it's not

875
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 5: a corner, it's going to be a defensive tackle because

876
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 5: they're old at that position.

877
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would just be interesting because of what the

878
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: Orlando Brown junior does that news does Does that take

879
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: them out of MAUI? Noah, who again is yes, I

880
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 2: think it does. Yeah. So this will continue to play out,

881
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: We'll continue to talk about it leading up to the draft.

882
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: But I agree, it does feel more and more like

883
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm seeing the Bengals in some way or another connected

884
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 2: to a corner. At number ten, we'll take a y hour.

885
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 2: Number three starts next. Let's start with the Cincinnati Bengals.

886
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: Let's revisit a little bit of the cap conversation we

887
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: had yesterday and uh more we know about that and
